The Samsung Galaxy Beam is Cool
You’re probably sick by now of hearing us lament over the lack of niche phones in the market and the seemingly unrelenting pushing forward of processing power without much effort going to enhancing other areas of smartphone performance or even offering something completely new. Fortunately for us big companies like Samsung do occasionally come out with something intriguing and of late it even seems to be becoming more of a trend, with intriguing shinies cropping up with more and more regularity. The latest Samsung piece of interest is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but first we'd like to point out some of the other cool stuff we've been seeing in the past year or so.
Samsung Galaxy S III Specs Unveiled
There have been almost as many rumors running around the web about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III than about the soon-to-be-launched iPad 3. Now, finally, we’re getting some pretty viable information about what we can expect from Samsung’s next flagship device.
The Sony Xperia P and U
Not only boasting the Xperia S as its newest Ericsson-less phone line, Sony has introduced the Xperia P and Xperia U. Both the Xperia P and U sport a dual-core 1GHz U8500 chipset and both, unfortunately, will come running Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box with an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to follow in Q2.

HTC has unveiled its HTC One series, starting with the HTC One X and continuing with the One V and One S. The HTC One V, previously referred to as the HTC Primo, is looking to be a lower-end device aimed at the more budget-conscious user, while the HTC One S boasts some more impressive hardware.
The HTC One X at MWC

LG’s Recent Pre-MWC Devices
LG’s been showing off a few of its upcoming devices lately ahead of the slew of handsets we’re sure to see at MWC in a few days.

However, good idea or no LG is still forging ahead so we thought we’d keep you all up to date with what’s going on in LG’s world.
7 Inch ViewSonic ICS Tablet at MWC
ViewSonic is purportedly planning to unveil a new 7 inch Android tablet at Mobile World Congress (MWC) next week. From what we’re hearing the device isn’t going to be too high end, meaning it should fall in to the cheaper end of the tablet market. The 7 inch display will sport a 1024x600 resolution, making for a pixel density of 169ppi. That kind of density, couple with claims that it will be “ultra-light” definitely suggest that this will not be a high-end tablet.
HTC Rhyme Review
The HTC Rhyme is a mid-range Android 2.3 Gingerbread device with which HTC has taken a slightly different approach when it comes to aesthetics and accessories.

We grabbed a hold of one and took it for a spin to see how the Rhyme compared to other devices in the same field in our HTC Rhyme review.
